LONDON Welsh have snapped up French props Franck Montanella and Arthur Joly ahead of Sunday’s Aviva Premiership opener at home to Leicester.
The Exiles, who will play their home games at Oxford’s Kassam Stadium , have high hopes for the ex-Bourgoin pair.
“With Franck and Arthur on board, as well as Paulica Ion and the boys we’ve kept from last year, our front row is capable of competing in the Aviva Premiership,” said head coach Lyn Jones.
